PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Remi Gaillard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Phife (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gaillard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Victoria. Phife is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fernandinho - Mais Alto. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
